Join Domain activity

The Join Domain activity joins a Windows computer to a domain.

If the computer is already a member of a domain, this activity completes without modifying
the computer. Joining a domain requires a username and password. This user must have domain
administration privileges or privileges to join a computer to the domain.

Note: This activity replaces a Powershell activity by the same name
available in releases prior to Geneva. If you have a workflow created in a previous version
that uses the deprecated activity, your workflow will continue to work normally after
upgrading to Geneva. However, all new workflows must use the custom version of this
activity. This activity was built with the PowerShell activity designer, which gives workflow administrators the ability to store input and output variables in
the databus.
